Almost everybody loves a good black and white photo. By taking away colour, the photos are taken into a medium of their own, an different version of the reality we see. Black and white photography is great for eliminating distracting element in a photo, drawing the our attention to shape and form.

This walk down from Islington town hall would look different in colour. and textures really come out. Composition plays a big role when there is not colour.
